Is that above and beyond (or over and above??) what you can negotiate for the car? For example, if the MSRP is $64095 and you can get a Truecar price of $61372, do the credits bring down the cap cost? Thanks.

The diesels sell very well in the Houston market. A few months ago they were running the incentives below except for holiday cash plus they were including a full sales tax credit. They were being picked off of dealer lots as soon as they showed up. I negotiated hard to get $500 over invoice for mine.

I would say more end of year discounts, they were similar last year end. Even at that, most folks have been able to get a consistent ~$10k off of MSRP when including all the various discount programs at any point in the year.

My personal opinion is that North America has been a test bed for their new emissions systems on the diesel and they want to get as high a number of test subjects out there being shaken down as possible before the switch gets flipped over in Europe, big incentives help do that. Just my opinion though.
